Chapter 277: Knowing Grace and Reporting Righteousness (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Inside and outside Beixinguan, two or three hundred big men are busy, but now it is the spring season, the weather is suitable, and the work they have to do is not so heavy, so there is no scene of sweating like rain. After all, the free three meals a day are almost equal to zero attraction for these people who are used to eating thousands of households, but Huang Long, the Hangzhou government official who is in charge of this matter by the order of Yan Yuan, is a person with a real personality, and he sets up a card roll call at the outermost end every day, and the absence of a labor is extended for two days, and the servants beat gongs and drums to the entire lake villa, informing them who are not here today, and the people are welcome to report and expose or even twist it.
That's why less than 200 people came yesterday, but today it's nearly 300!
When Wang Fulin, Yang Wencai and others arrived, what they saw was a busy situation inside the wooden fence. Huang Long, dressed in a cyan official robe, was clasping his hands, and the old god was standing at the entrance. As soon as the two sides looked at each other, Huang Long raised his eyebrows, then stepped forward with a smile, and said warmly and cordially: "Look at your posture, is the matter done?" β
Wang Fulin knew that Huang Long was a cheerful person, so he asked Yang Wencai to take out two deeds with seals and handprints. After Huang Long took it in his hand, he looked at it carefully, and asked with great interest what the so-called dart game meant, and then smiled: "Okay, in this way, I, the Hangzhou government magistrate, will stamp a seal for you, so that this can be regarded as crossing the Ming Road." β
While he neatly stamped the seal directly, he glanced at the thirty or forty people behind Wang Fulin, and then the cordiality immediately turned into majesty: "Wang Xiaoguan is a guarantee and takes over your labor within half a year." Discipline yourselves. If there is a violation of the law. Double the punishment! In the future, if you wait to do illegal things on the streets again, or take out the banner of doing business again, Hugh blames the official for severely punishing him. β
Although Yang Wencai and others were brave and ruthless on the streets in the past, they were really in front of the imperial court officials, and naturally they all did not dare to disobey - the most important thing is that the 100-member Qi family army from Fubiao has been supervising the work here for the past few days. Even so, there are people with good deeds who sneak up here. I wanted to hear what I was talking about, but as soon as I heard that Yang Wencai, who was Zhong Nanfeng's subordinate brothers, had all been bailed out, someone immediately went to inform the other people who were serving in labor, and after a while, they publicly pushed a few people with no less prestige than their heads to speak.
Wang Fulin just hadn't had time to leave, and when he heard these people complaining and complaining, he wanted to see how Huang Long responded, but he saw that this Hangzhou government official suddenly burst into a loud mouth. Seeing that the seven or eight people had stopped, Huang Long reprimanded him sternly.
Yang Wencai and the other 32 people were not exempted from hard labor, but those with meritorious names vouched for them. and paid a guarantee of 500 taels, and then took over the labor of these people from the Hangzhou government for half a year. It does not violate the judgment of the Emperor of the Mansion. If you can find someone of merit to vouch for you, and then pay the corresponding money, you will of course not be required to do labor here. But the premise is that if you have a criminal offense, the guarantor will lose his reputation! β
This is something that Wang Fulin has already discussed with Huang Long, so that he can block other people's mouths, and secondly, he can also have an explanation for the five hundred taels of silver that he took out before. Sure enough, Huang Long's call suddenly made all those unhappy guys speechless, not to mention whether they can say that they can use a poor show to help as a guarantee, even this insurance money can't be taken out by smashing the pot and selling iron! For a while, those eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred were all focused on Yang Wencai and the others, so that the latter held their heads high, and for the first time felt that they had more face than winning a fight!
Wang Fulin saw Huang Long send everyone away in a few words, and then he remembered a very important thing. He approached Huang Long's side and asked in a low voice, "Did Dian Fu Zun come out of the courtyard?" β
As soon as he mentioned this question, Huang Long's face suddenly froze, and then he smiled bitterly: "It was almost dusk yesterday, and the Emperor Fu Zun came back, looking at his calm face, no matter how I asked, he said lightly that I don't have to worry about the next things, I just need to do a good job." I heard that Director Zhu of Beixinguan brazenly broke into the procuratorate yesterday, and I don't know what he said in it, in short, I am afraid that this turmoil will have to be tossed for a while. β
Wang Fulin sighed in his heart, but he was a little showman in Shexian County who hadn't even been admitted to the exam, and he really couldn't help. So, after he sighed with Huang Long, he said goodbye and went back. But as soon as he turned around, before he could greet Yang Wencai and the others to go together, he only heard a shout behind him: "Wang Xiaoguan, Wang Xiaoguan!" β
The voice was shrill and unfamiliar, Wang Fulin turned his head in surprise, and saw that it was a young man who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, but his dress was very different, with a black gauze hat, a soft belt, and a brown collared shirt. After the little boy stepped forward, he saluted respectfully, and then said: "Gong Zhang sent the little one to watch at the gate, if Wang Xiaoguan comes, he must stay for a while, and he will personally thank him." Zhang Gonggong said that this time he was able to be safe and sound, thanks to Wang Xiaoguan's bravery. β
Hearing that it was the tax eunuch Zhang Ning who wanted to see him and thank him, Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment. In all fairness, he had a mediocre attitude towards Zhang Ning in Beixinguan before, neither intentionally handing over nor looking down on him, just an attitude towards ordinary strangers, not to mention that he has now taken in Yang Wencai, the guy who beat Zhang Ning to death at the beginning, once the tax customs eunuch knows, I am afraid that it will not be too much to be furious. Moreover, it is very difficult for Yan Yuan to pass this hurdle now, and it is even more difficult to say that Zhang Ning, who provoked the rebellion to occupy Beixinguan this time. Such a bad luck will soon be unlucky, why don't he find an excuse to avoid it?
Although he had the idea of retreating, but seeing that the young man who was supposed to be a little eunuch peeked at him, it was not so much cautious as curiosity and admiration, Wang Fulin thought that he couldn't be too utilitarian, and finally agreed. And Huang Long's reaction to this was only to shrug his shoulders, and he did not persuade Wang Fulin whether to go or not. When he saw people going to Beixinguan, he said to Yang Wencai and the others: "You don't have to wait here, just leave one or two people." I want to come to Wang Xiaoguan to guarantee you, it will not be to let you eat idle meals, what should you be busy with! β
Yang Wencai naturally knew that they were the ones who beat the dead eunuch the hardest before. I was a little worried about Zhang Ning summoning Wang Fulin. At this moment, I heard Huang Long's command. Thinking that they really can't help anything, it is better to hurry up and prepare for a long journey. So, he immediately decided to stay by himself, and asked Yang Tao to take the selected eight good-looking and burly brothers to buy the outfits, while the others sent back to clean up the house, and he stayed with Huo Zheng and the other entourage.
Unexpectedly, this is a full hour.
It's not that Zhang Ning really dragged Wang Fulin to babble for so long. This eunuch, who was scolded by many people poking his backbone, spoke surprisingly neatly.
"If it weren't for Yanfu Zun this time, our family's life would have been sent to Beixinguan. Although our family may not be able to keep the position, and I don't know where to be sent to sweep the floor, we can't always know how to repay the favor! When our family saw you today, I just wanted you to tell the Emperor Fuzun, and our family wrote down the detailed situation and sent it to the ancestors in the palace. Although it may not be a fart, it is always the last bit of effort in our family. If the rumors in the palace are not good, before our family gets the information, we will go out to the chief secretary to make a big fuss. Let's talk about the evil anger in my heart first, you remember to say it to Yan Fuzun. Let him pretend he doesn't know! β
Wang Fulin didn't know whether to praise the eunuch for understanding kindness and righteousness, or whether to sigh that the government was too complicated. As soon as he came out of Zhang Ning's place, he was intercepted by someone sent by Zhu Rong. The chief of the Nanjing household department stationed in Beixinguan directly threw a stack of account books in front of him, and threw down a few words in righteous indignation.
"If the two divisions dare to take the Mansion as a scapegoat, then I can't help it, I don't want to let go of my future, and I will directly take the public expenses that have been distributed to them by the tax customs over the years, and I can't care about how big the hole is at that time, I can't care about it, just hang the crown and leave! Little Brother Wang, you go back and sue SΓΉ Mansion Zun, this time Zhu Cheng accepted his favor. β
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhen walked up to Wang Fulin again, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "At that time, when you opened your arms to block us, I thanked you a lot, I didn't expect you to know swordsmanship, that hand is so handsome." If I lose my official position, I will go to She County to find you to learn swords! β
Zhang Ning and Zhu Zhen, two guys who almost didn't fight when they met in Beixinguan, stood on the same front this time. Wang Fulin had to sigh with emotion, Yan Yuan, a good person, still has a good reward. When he went all the way out of Beixinguan, he didn't know how many small officials and miscellaneous servants were chasing and intercepting him, most of them were to express his gratitude, even if Wang Fulin didn't know most of them at all.
Many people were locked up in some empty houses when they occupied Beixinguan in the middle of the war, and everyone felt that the panic and anxiety were unforgettable, so while thanking him, they also entrusted him to pay tribute to Yan Yuan, and thanked Yan Fuzun for coming forward to negotiate in person without fear of hardships and dangers, and then quickly solved the incident. Because of this, when Wang Fulin returned to the entrance, it was already an hour later.
Wang Fulin concisely told Huang Long about the situation in Beixin Pass, and the magistrate was also emotional. But seeing that Wang Fulin was leaving, Huang Long grabbed him and said in a low voice: "You are enough to attract people's attention, when the government turns back to me and goes, say to Yan Fuzun, so as not to be targeted by others again." By the way, Hangzhou City can go as soon as possible, although this good show is good-looking, it is enough to toss people if it gets into trouble. The road guides of these people under Zhong Nanfeng's hands, I will send them to you at dusk. β
Don't say that you have decided to run quickly, but you haven't decided, after listening to Huang Long's words, seeing this very obvious sign of the great fighting of many officials, Wang Fulin will certainly not stay long. When he returned to the inn in the city, he found Mrs. Su straightforwardly. Before he could speak, Mrs. Su said bluntly: "Fu Lin, you lend me seven or eight people, and I have to do something when I go back to my hometown this time." β
Such a coincidence?
Wang Fulin was surprised, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I just wanted to talk about this." These entourages around me will give half to Mrs. and Yang Tao, and the other is to help Mrs. Lao to give me a banner. β
When Mrs. Su understood Wang Fulin's freshly baked business, she couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Okay, if there are no more water bandits with long eyes on the way back to Ningbo, then it is just to promote the majesty of your Changfeng Dart Bureau!" (To be continued......)
